About
Micila Medeiros Pereira is a dedicated researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on integrating robotics and project-based learning to address critical skills gaps in Information Technology (IT). Her most cited work, "ROBÔ-TI," exemplifies her commitment to bridging educational disparities, particularly in underserved regions like the state of Amazonas, Brazil. This 2019 paper, with 18 citations, details a pioneering project at the Federal Institute of Amazonas (IFAM) that uses educational robotics to stimulate high school students toward IT careers, directly tackling Brazil's shortage of qualified professionals. Pereira’s contributions lie in designing hands-on, contextualized learning experiences that make technology accessible and engaging, thereby fostering local talent and promoting social inclusion through education. Her research not only advances pedagogical methods but also has tangible societal impact, as evidenced by the ROBÔ-TI project’s role in empowering students in a region with limited opportunities. By combining theoretical frameworks with practical implementation, Pereira demonstrates how targeted educational interventions can transform communities, making her work a valuable resource for educators and policymakers seeking innovative solutions to workforce development challenges.
